[UA] [OT] have a boo at

[Ja Ke]

as someone who is actually some kind briton, I thought it just meant look, 
I'd probably put it down to some scottish gaelic roots, because I think I've 
heard "have a wee boo at yon" used up north once or twice (though they could 
have been canadian for all I know)
